"Counterattack Huainan?" Chu Jingming was surprised and couldn't believe it: "Anbang, I heard you right, right?" ”

"Big brother, you heard it right." Qiao Anbang said and persuaded: "Okay, you should quickly retreat, retreat to the north shore and rest well." ”

"Sir, let's go." The commander of the first battalion stepped forward and gestured.

Chu Jingming ignored the first battalion commander, but said to Qiao Anbang: "Brother, since ancient times, fighting tiger brothers, father and son soldiers, you don't withdraw, when I am the eldest brother, I will withdraw, I didn't say anything, I will stay and fight side by side with you!" ”

Qiao Anbang looked at Chu Jingming and then at the almost wounded soldiers behind him, and said, "Big brother, you and your brothers are injured, you should listen to my brothers, retreat to the rear to rest, recuperate from your injuries, and wait for a later battle with Yue Kou." ”

Seeing that Qiao Anbang was concerned about the injuries of himself and his subordinates, Chu Jingming hurriedly patted his chest and said: "This little injury is nothing, it's really not good, let them withdraw, I'll stay, give me a submachine gun, I can still charge into battle." As he spoke, Chu Jingming's gaze turned to the two hundred surviving soldiers of the security regiment behind him.

Everyone has a love for calves, Chu Jingming is no exception, he also wants to leave a few seeds for his security regiment, in the battle of Fengyang Gorge, his security regiment was almost wiped out, and it is precisely because of this that when Qiao Anbang proposed to counterattack Huainan and swore not to retreat, Chu Jingming would want to stay resolutely, he wanted to stay and avenge the more than 1,000 hometown soldiers who sacrificed and died in the country.

Unexpectedly, Chu Jingming's voice fell, and more than 200 surviving officers and soldiers of the security regiment said excitedly: "We don't leave, we don't leave, we don't go anywhere, we share honor and disgrace, life and death go hand in hand!" ”

Qiao Anbang was slightly moved when he heard this, it seems that Chu Jingming's status in the minds of the officers and soldiers of this group of security regiments is still very high, but this is not without reason, Chu Jingming is an honest official, respects benevolence and righteousness, takes good care of his subordinates, and never withholds military salaries, and over time his status in the eyes of the officers and soldiers has also improved.

It is also because he Chu Jingming is deeply loved by his subordinates, so he can rely on the strength of a regiment to hold on to the death for a day and a night, if it were not for the desperate bloody battle of his subordinates, plus the security regiment previously received a batch of weapons and equipment donated by Qiao Anbang, the combat effectiveness is slightly stronger than other regiments, I am afraid he will not be able to hold out for even a day.

Chu Jingming was even more tearful, and nodded again and again: "Okay, good!" Share honor and disgrace, swear to live and die together! Saying that, he turned to Qiao Anbang and said: "Anbang, you have also seen that the brothers are not willing to go ......, don't say anything, just as the so-called brothers work together, their strength is broken!" At the time of the national crisis, you and my brothers should join forces to resist the enemy and resist the enemy together! ”

"But, you're all hurt." Qiao Anbang said with some unease.

"This is not in the way, they are all minor injuries, and you can continue to fight with a bandage." Chu Jingming looked back at his subordinates, turned his head and said, "However, there is one thing that is really troublesome, we don't have any ammunition." ”

"It's easy to do." Qiao Anbang saw that his mind had been decided, so he no longer persuaded him, and immediately turned around and pointed to the battlefield where the fierce battle just now said: "Just now we eliminated the little two thousand devils, this mountain is full of weapons and ammunition, big brother, you take people to clean up the battlefield first, and when I save the [***] army arrives, I will equip you with German-style equipment, which is much better than the equipment of the little devils." ”

"Okay!" Chu Jingming responded happily, and then led his subordinates to start cleaning the battlefield.

Qiao Anbang took out a cigarette from his pocket, and said to himself while facing the northwest while lighting the cigarette: "Why haven't the second and third battalions come here yet?" ”

Suddenly, a terrible shout came from behind him: "Chief seat! Total seat! ”

Qiao Anbang took a puff of cigarette, turned his head when he heard the sound, and Liang Jiahan, who was standing behind her, also turned around. The person who came was a soldier of the guard regiment, and it seemed that he was also the attendant adjutant of the guard regiment commander Wang Gensheng, and a distant relative of Wang Gensheng, whose name was Erdan.

"What's the matter?" The second egg was able to reach him, and Qiao Anbang was the first to ask.

Erdan panted like a cow, and hurriedly stood up and saluted Qiao Anbang and said: "General seat, we encountered the main force of the Yue army not far from the ferry, and after a fierce battle, the main force was repulsed, but now the devil has retreated to the foot of the mountain, in order to ensure the safety of the ferry, the regiment commander led the first battalion and the second battalion are storming the position of the Yue army, and they cannot come to the rendezvous for the time being, so I am specially sent to report." ”

"Hmm." Hearing this, Qiao Anbang couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction and said: "Go back and tell your regiment commander that he did the right thing, remember, before my main army crosses the river, you must give me the ferry firmly in our hands no matter what." In addition, send a telegram to the armored brigade on the opposite bank, urging them to cross the river and join us as soon as possible! ”

"Yes!" Erdan snapped up and stood up, then turned around and left.

Seeing the second egg leave, Qiao Anbang secretly praised himself, Wang Gensheng has been following him for a long time, and he has learned some strategies and tactics, at least he has handled this matter well, regardless of the purpose of the Yue army that encountered the second and third battalions of the guard, it belongs to the army of the Yue army.

But if Wang Gensheng led his troops to repel it again and hurried to fight with him, it would undoubtedly give up the ferry to the Yue army, so that not only the rear road of the guard regiment would be intercepted, but the follow-up troops such as the armored brigade would also be unable to cross the river because they were blocked by the Yue army.

Once the connection between the guard regiment and the follow-up main force is cut off, the consequences are unimaginable, after all, they have to face not a division of the army, but a whole army of more than 100,000 troops, and no matter how strong the combat strength of the guard regiment is, it is bound to be difficult to last.

………………………… Pingwei ferry on the north bank of the Huai River, Zhang Xudong, who is already the commander of the armored brigade, is inspecting the pontoon bridge construction work at the ferry surrounded by several regiment commanders.

All of them were so frightened that they stayed at home and didn't dare to show their heads, and some of them had even moved their families to Pheasant and Ji, because there was Qiao Anbang's rescue [***] stationed there.

And when Qiao Anbang's rescue [***] rushed to the north bank of the Huai River, many soldiers went to nearby villages to borrow boats and other things, ready to cross the river, and learned that it was the rescue [***] arrived, the local people showed amazing enthusiasm, they not only lent the boat to [***], but even demolished the door panel of their own house without a boat.

There were also many people who spontaneously came to help build the pontoon bridge, and at this moment, the status of Qiao Anbang and the Tiger Brigade in the hearts of the whole [***] people was obvious.

Especially in the Lianghuai area, which is not far from the pheasant and the set.

Zhang Xudong and the others were inspecting the room, and a communications soldier ran over with a hurried look, and reported to Zhang Xudong with a snapped stand: "Brigade seat, the general seat orders our department to cross the river as soon as possible to meet the guard regiment. ”

"Got it!" Zhang Xudong waved his hand when he heard this, and turned to several regiment commanders behind him: "The pontoon bridge is almost completed, let's go and prepare, today is the first battle of my armored brigade since its establishment, I must give Lao Tzu a brilliant fight, let the little devil see the power of our Chinese steel torrent!" ”

"Yes!" Several regiment commanders saluted in unison, and immediately turned around and ordered to leave.

The pontoon bridge was built by a group of 100-ton heavy steamers that Qiao Anbang instructed Yali to secretly get from the aircraft before crossing the river, and connected the ships with steel plates and iron chains, which could be used by tanks and armored fighting vehicles to pass.

Looking at the steel pontoon bridge gradually completed on the river, Zhang Xudong was a little excited, since the formation of the armored brigade, there has been no battle, and Zhang Xudong has no bottom in his heart about the power of those huge and mighty large tanks, so he is looking forward to the next battle.

As the last steamer arrived at the intended position, a steel road to the south bank had been formed, and the first regiment of the armored brigade began to move before Zhang Xudong could order it.

Dozens of huge No. 4 tanks roared towards the pontoon bridge one by one, one, two, three, and soon dozens of No. 4 tanks quickly passed the pontoon bridge and reached the opposite bank.

Zhang Xudong got on a No. 4 tank and began to cross the river with the second regiment, and when dozens of No. 4 tanks of the second regiment also crossed the river, Zhang Xudong ordered the troops to advance forward in order to meet the guard regiment.

.................. "Hurry up, quick, quick, quick!" "On the dirt road from Fengyang to Tianma Peak, Major General Sawada Tokushige, commander of the 26th Infantry Brigade of the Yue Army, is urging more than 1,000 cavalry of the 17th Cavalry Brigade to speed up.

The rescue telegram of the 116th Infantry Wing has come several times, saying that they are under heavy attack by the [***] team, and the heavy losses of the 58th Infantry Wing have already made Sawada Tokushige very angry, and if the 116th Wing is also heavily damaged or annihilated by the [***] team, then he, the brigade commander, will become the commander of the light pole.

This was a situation that Sawada Tokushige absolutely did not want to see, so he left the slower field artillery wing and personally led the cavalry brigade, which was marching faster, to advance first and gallop to the aid of the 116th Infantry Wing.

On the two high ground at the foot of Tianma Peak, the devils of the 116th Infantry Wing are desperately resisting the attack of the second and third battalions of the guard with the help of the high ground.

In the previous encounter, the 116th Wing suffered a big loss, but fortunately, the 116th Wing Commander was clever, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he hurriedly ordered to retreat, otherwise the 116th Wing would have been eaten by the guard regiment with full German equipment.

However, although the 16th Wing took the initiative to retreat, the guard regiment did not give up, but bit the 116th Wing's ass and chased after it, and the 116th Wing lost hundreds of people in the melee together.

Now there are less than two brigades left, trapped by the guard regiment on these two high ground at the foot of Tianma Peak.

On the high ground, the commander of the 116th Wing, Tian Tian Fu Dazuo, was holding a saber to supervise the battle back and forth in the trenches, when suddenly a sharp-eyed guard pointed to the distance and shouted in horror: "United, Captain, quick, look, China, China, China!" ”

Hearing this, Tian Tian Fu Dazuo changed color, and looked in the direction pointed by the guards, as far as his eyes could see, a large group of huge black chariots were rumbling towards this side, the thick cannon barrel raised high, and the dazzling blue sky and white flag at the front of the chariot, seeing all this, Tian Tian Fu Dazuo's face turned pale in an instant, and he sat down in the trench like a deflated ball.
